Blau, Zygote didn't create those textures you saw in the store, the artists who submitted them to the store did. If you sewed doll clothes for Barbie, you could sell them because Mattell didn't create them, you did. Basically, these people are making virgual "doll clothes" for Vickie (and/or P4 man/woman). They're based on the templates that Zygote gave with the product. The designs and work on the textures are solely the artist's, not Zygote's. If you create a texture map for Vickie, you're entitled to do with it as you please. If someone took say one of Tim Laubach's textures and tried to sell it, they would be violating his copyright, but selling an original texture doesn't violate the copyright on Zygote's Vickie character mesh. If you tried to sell a copy of the Vickie figure, then you'd be in trouble. I hope this helps. Melanie
